I began this blog while learning to run and training for my very first race! Now I'm just your friendly neighborhood mad scientist still trying to live a healthy life...day by day :)

Creak

Last night at bellydance class we did a lot of moving L hips, guazis and shimmying, as well as b hips with footwork...and this morning my hips were SORE! So I just stretched and didn't work out. I'm still stiff, but I can function now :)It suddenly got cold again for no good reason so I bussed to work (-2 with huge winds is not a fun bike ride)...brrr. Boo.Ah well.Another day another snowsuit...

I'm a nice person. No really, I am.
I'm definitely not trying to create a monster in my lab and I'm definitely not working on a cure for cancer...Well....OK maybe. After kicking breast cancer's ass I got back to mad science -maybe my research will help cure cancer some day...the monster thing just sounds more cool...if being a scientist can be said to be cool...umm...
hey what's that over there?
(whoosh!)

I've always wanted to be a jogger, but am too much of a slacker. SO I signed up for a marathon...and I DID it :) I have lost, and kept off, ~50 pounds in the past few years by changing the way I move and eating better.

I also love bellydancing. After a knee injury I've been exploring all kinds of new ways to be fit to supplement running. During grad school I took advantage of my school gym and begun Operation Uberfrau - building a stronger me.

In 2013 I was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer and came through my treatments with a complete pathological response. Through all my treatments and surgeries I am determined to move forward and rebuild my body after chemo and take my healthy journey through all of this new adventure called life.

Because people - Life is good :)

I started this blog to keep me motivated. I don't know how interesting you'll find it all to read, but if you keep up with me, we can do it together!

Operation Uberfrau is underway!!!

Building the best me. Day by day.

It's the little things...

Goal of the month:

January - After holidays I need to get back to regular workouts and get ready for my final surgery in March. This is Insanity Yo.

February - Operation Foob (OF) - Buckle down and eat clean, with daily workouts to get toned and shake a few pounds prior to evaluation for surgery.

March - My last surgery. EVER. Muahahaha!

Time to heal. :)

April - Again with the healing. Back to work.

May - Once I get cleared to do more I can get back to walking to work and working out a bit. Ease into fitness to get more fit for the summer.
